Lyrics:

I parked my car around back
I've got the shades pulled down
I told everybody including my mama
I was leaving town
But I've been right here
Since you've been gone
Belly-up at the bottom of a bottle
Listening to George Jones

And just playing possum
Laying low
I've got hundred watts of hurting
Coming through the speakers of my stereo
Don't want to see nobody
Nowhere I want to go
I'm just playing possum
And laying low

I'm going to hide my heart
And be a love recluse
Oh I could cry on my best friend's shoulder
But there ain't no use
I need an expert on
The pain I'm going through
So I'll keep George on the old turntable
Until I'm over you


He's playing possum
And he's laying low
